Holy Toledos bud this makes me wanna go get a 72 élan with a case of some lattes and join the boys up there for a ride! Epic video
I have the exact same machine that I bought from a guy who bought it new and never rode it... I had to put a carb on it. It has only 79 miles on it.

Love your videos dude! vintage sleds for the win! what spark plug is that? recommend that in an elan 250 single?

I enjoy your videos. The old sleds were great through the tight trails. How about making a windshield? I had an élan in 1972 with a shaved head, taller gears, ski spreaders and a cutdown windscreen.

Nice Video! Would like to see some Performance Mods for these Old Singles. I see this 335 has an Electric Start option. Those Starters are hard to come by these days. So a Starter upgrade option would be nice. Maybe using a Cheap New Seadoo Starter.

I picked up a 2002 Foreman 450 S last weekend for free from a neighbor. They did not want to spend the money to fix it. I am $200 in for parts (mostly the new battery) and it purrs like a kitten and runs like a scalded dog. I lied to myself by saying I would fix it and flip it, but we all know it is staying right here.

This year me and a friend picked up a elan 250 not sure the year and it runs great, but we have a mikuni on it and no choke or primer so it's a 400 pull machine, the spray bottle does wonders lol
@daniel_xxdannyxx73448 ай бұрын
Hey man, I have some struggles with my 12 elan single because it will run great on a aux gas tank but if I try and run it on the original tank it wont pull the gas I replaced the pick up line and it didn't work. Any suggestions.
@rotten-and-forgotten8 ай бұрын
I would make sure your new line isn't floating on top of the gas in the tank (ive seen that more than once). If it is submerged, I'd check for blockages in your line and in the tank inlets! Best of luck! Keep tinkering

I bought mine from a guy in a trailer park. I can tell by a broken foot peg and a slightly bent handlebar that he probably laid it down, and his wife said it's got to go! 😅 You mean you're supposed to actually maintain these things?. Mine does 26 miles an hour, the guy did tell me he did something with the governor spring. You are right they will go anywhere, I think I actually want to gear mine down to give it a little more torque and less top end for the boondocking I enjoy.

You shouldn’t screw the dipstick in to check the level. Hust dip it. Overfilling causes leaks.
@Jethrosgarage10 ай бұрын
Well there's more than one way to get it done, you could have Squatch253'd it and done a complete job- In the end they had over eight grand in a Super M and that was with what they called a "working tractor" paint job. Doing all the labor themselves. In your case, you made one out of two and have a really good working rig that will be around another 65 years. Yes condensation in those rear ends I think kills a lot of bearings and gears.

Hey man, I’ve got a 73 Elan 250T. Runs great once you get going but whenever you stop it will usually lose prime. Fuel line is as follows in tank filter>screw in 90 degree elbow>in line filter by the rear engine mount>red high flo fuel strainer on carb>carb>return. Im wondering if you got anything I could try to cure this. I may swap on a vm34 of a citation but I would like to save that for a Chaparral one lunger racer I’m building.
@rotten-and-forgotten10 ай бұрын
Sounds like you may have a possible air leak. The biggest thing is to make sure that when you're running that your primary fuel line is bubble free while you ride! If you got a steady stream of bubbles, you have a definite airleak somewhere that needs to be fixed asap!!!! If the fuel line is bubble free, you can try putting a filter with a check valve on your pickup to keep it from siphoning out of the carb. Or put a primar bulb on your main line so you can easily prime on the go. That's just my two cents, Good luck and keep tinkering!
